Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the vegetables
Wash and slice the zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion. Place them in a bowl and add olive oil, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Step 2: Grill the vegetables
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini slices and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until tender with beautiful golden grill marks.
Grill the red peppers and onions for approximately 4–5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the feta mixture
In a small bowl, combine crumbled feta, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, and olive oil.
Mix until creamy but slightly textured. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 4: Toast the flatbreads
Brush each flatbread lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper.
Toast in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until warm, golden, and lightly crisp.
Step 5: Assemble the flatbread stack
Place one toasted flatbread on a serving plate.
Spread a generous layer of creamy feta mixture over the top. Add grilled zucchini, red peppers, and red onions.
Place another flatbread on top and repeat the layers.
Continue stacking until all the flatbreads and fillings are used.
Step 6: Garnish and serve
Finish with crumbled feta, fresh parsley, dried oregano, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Serve warm while the flatbreads are soft and the vegetables are deliciously smoky.
